You can sit there with a straight face and say Zenyatta isn't avoiding anything by staying in California? I don't even know why I waste my time sometimes.

What did we just agree on? You're a masochist.

SHe is, for sure... Look in the other thread I called both connections pitiful. I just think at this point, if Z runs in the Classic like they say they will, nothing else really matters.

THIS attitude is terrible for the sport. Is there anything worse than the idea that the only thing that matters is the stupid Breeder's Cup? Every time I hear/read somebody say something Todd Schruppian like this, I get annoyed.

it's also not very logical. zenyatta ran in the bcc last year, all it earned her was older mare honors. if it didn't earn hoy last year, why would it this year? and it is a terrible attitude. one race does not a year make.

Anyone who understands the game knows the above is crap. Last years Classic was on synthetics, this years is on dirt. Last year a lot of the dirt horses ducked it, this year EVERYONE IS POINTING THERE. If she stays undefeated and beats Quality Road in the Classic she is HOY.
I really dont think there is any argument against this.

But with the weak schedule she has put up in 2010, they have made it an all or nothing proposition when it comes to HOY. If she had won races like the Hollywood Gold Cup or Pacific Classic, then should might be able to win HOY without winning the BC Classic.

In a perfect world, I would love Quality Road to win HOY and for Zenyatta to beat him on the square in the classic, IF this did happen, I wonder how many would remember who the HOY was in 2010? BUT how many would remember the race that they both competed in...That is why I have stated multiple times I don't care one bit who wins HOY. It's great for discussion forums and chat rooms but does any sane horseracing fan really care years from now that Curlin or a Point Given were once winners of the award? I know I don't.

lol

sure it is. one race isn't enough, i don't care who is running or where. it wasn't enough last year, it shouldn't be enough any year. and no decent dirt horse ducked the bcc other than rachel, who apparently didn't need to show to get top honors.

remind me again, who won hoy when volponi won the classic? who won hoy the second year tiznow won the classic?

You keep saying things like one race and lol... I dont understand if its only because your talking to me, or if you are just to stubburn or if you just dont understand. She is winning GRADE 1'S, not listed ungraded Stakes races.

Yeah, you've been very original in this thread. Recycling the same arguements and points that have been hammered home for months now. Impressive stuff.
